WeaponTech AK47 Enhanced Bolt Hold Open Follower - 10 Pack

I bought a three pack of these to try them out. I am thoroughly impressed, and that doesn't happen very often. No, the don't work with Magpul mags, but that is stated clearly in the product description. No more guesswork: you know right away that your rifle is empty. Professional soldiers who use AK rifles load 3 or four tracers first, so they know as soon as they start seeing tracers it is time to reload. With tracers being somewhat limited in availability in the civilian world, these work just as well. I will be buying more.

picked up half a dozen of these and put them in surplus steel and TAPCO AK mags. 30 and 20 rounders. Work great ! Will be buying a 10 pack soon. I can't understand reviews complaining that they do not fit PMAGs when the description CLEARLY states they are not designed for them ??? I also doubt they can be modified to fit the PMAG. Polymer sides are too thin. Would be great if they make a PMAG version. Just saying........

Bought a bag of ten of these followers thinking they would add a great "AR" feature by holding the bolt open after the last round is ejected. And they may well work in any other AK magazine - EXCEPT – Magpul AK magazines! The follower in the Magpul AK magazines has a slot on each side to align with the rib that runs down each side for stability. These followers are flat on the sides. Further the Magpul followers cover the rear half the magazine and are open in front – right at the slots. These followers these cover the entire magazine. Very good idea but NOT for Magpul AK magazines. I may get my Dremel out for a little surgery to see if I can rig them but certainly will not use if I have any doubts about reliability after "re-sizing" them to fit the Magpul AK magazines. I so wanted them to work which makes it that much more frustrating. Oh well. Be forewarned.

Works as designed, even worked when modified for Magpul AK Gen3 magazines.
